===Australia=== The [[Black War]] was a period of violent conflict between [[1820 Settlers|British colonists]] and [[Aboriginal Australians]] in [[Tasmania]] from the mid-1820s to 1832. With an escalation of violence in the late 1820s, Lieutenant-Governor [[George Arthur]] declared martial law in November 1828—effectively providing legal immunity for killing Aboriginal people.<ref>{{cite book|last=Boyce|first=James|title=Van Diemen's Land|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tarto-9aKqMC|year=2010|publisher=Black Inc.|isbn=978-1-921825-39-2|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=tarto-9aKqMC&pg=PA266 266]}}</ref> It would remain in force for more than three years, the longest period of martial law in the history of the British colonies on the Australian continent. {{As of|2023}}, martial law has never been declared since [[Federation of Australia|federation]] in 1901.
